Thank you for allowing me to try one of your super swim hydro-resistance exercisers. I have found in a valuable aid for training sprinters. Heretofore, I have had difficulty getting my sprinters to use the same stroke rate in training that they use in competitive 50 yard races. With your device they have been able to do several 8 to 10 second tethered swims at competition stroke rates. Because they are stationary, I am able to signal when the rate is dropping.

This device has certainly improved their ability to maintain a high rate of turnover for the entire race. Before using the super swim, fatigue caused them to reduce their rate by 5 to 7 strokes per minute on the second 25 of a 50. Now, they are able to maintain nearly identical rates for both lengths of the race.

Another way we have made valuable use of the super swim is to have the swimmers perform the tethered swim while viewing their strokes in a mirror. This allowed them to stroke fast and correctly which, in turn, hastened learning considerably. Thank you for the opportunity to try your product. It has been a valuable tool and I will continue to use it.
